How to deal with rumors! #01

1. Don't play Dumb!

Don't pretend like nothing is wrong and avoid trashy small talk.
Please don't discuss weather or fruits!
Pretending nothing is wrong does not mean that there is not something wrong actually. It will not make the rumor go away. In fact it will make the situation worse. Your silence can be misinterpreted and could mean that you know the rumor and you are not doing anything about it. Acknowledge that there is a problem!

This is the tricky part!  - People are more likely to tell rumors that are conceivable and that hinge on the existence of suggestive evidence!

New project coming up...

Rumors can be difficult to deal with. They could start from motifs like, to feel better, to fit in, to gain attention, to improve position or power, to take revenge or just to pass time. Whatever the purpose of the person spreading the rumor. There are some Do's and Don'ts to how to deal with rumors.

Lets go through each of them one day, one illustration at a time!

1. Don't play dumb!

Just Saying!

Conspiracy is a crime!

Just so Everyone knows!

This is a small glimpse of something I have been working on.

Directors’ Cuts: “Become Microscope” by Aaron Rose

Posting this again! Inspiring!

Note to self

Dear self,

You have developed an addiction called 'achievement'!

i.e. making things possible with your skill. And living in that momentary ecstasy!

But success requires perseverance, patience, courage and a steady mind.

Don't be so demanding......learn to appreciate small things!

Be consistent with your routine, work and emotions.

and instead of bliss, choose peace!

 

Resistance

Trying to control things creates resistance.

Resistance from the alignment, resistance from that intuitive voice

that is beckoning you all the time! Resistance from your connection

to a power far greater than yourself. A magnitude that is within 

you that you have forgot to listen to. 

Because you have been too busy focusing on what you want to get. 

But absence of that resistance will we be able to realign. In the absence of that resistance 

that we will be able to remember who we really are! Its in the absence of that resistance that we get connected to the universe. Universe is the ever present energy of love. And it is within us!

Noted!

Yes. "The Bird"! :D

This is called flippancy :)

Stephen Colbert :)

For you cannot be afraid and laugh at the same time! :)

This man is a genius! If you see this Sir, I hope you like it :)

Stephen Colbert and faith and hope and God!

Recent example of flippancy?!

Recent example of flippancy?! -

someone anonymously (which can also be referred to as A witch hunt!) writing

a roman '4' not 3, not 2 precisely 4!

I am here to create!

Political operative means that you have some gain beyond what you are doing!
Politics itself means that I am not telling you my intention. I am showing you an action that is causing a reaction from you, while I am playing another chess from the other end. And I will triangulate some secretive way, where i will achieve power over you. Remember any political action is class against class.

I am not wanting to gain power over anybody. I am

an artist. I speak form my instinct or I am silent!

There are no looks, no winks no nudges from my end. No flippancy! I am not here to 'win no matter what'! because THAT sounds like a gamble. Winning regardless of its consequence! and gamble is a sin in every scripture and moreover my soul does not approve of it!

Having said that, if you kick me in the wrong place be rest assured, you are gonna get it back, regardless of how powerful you claim you are! You are not THEE! And that is enough for me to sue you! ;p Go up with that thing ;p :D

And I know that all you need is a strong will to build something phenomenal from scratch and that is the intention that God created us! And I know I have it in me! :)

Two spreads from my book Milarepa a Budhhist saint. I worked on this a few years back!

Always remember this!

One step at a time! :)

 It is possible that every morning, God claps His hands in glee and says every morning to the sun: “Do it again.” And unlike many of us, He jumps up and starts the day :)

Least we can do is walk - One step at a time! :)

Flippancy!

Lewis warned of the laughter of Flippancy. Flippancy jokes about goodness, virtue, justice. It is cruelty disguised as joking. Our throats are like open sepulchers, graves where dead laughter exists. The weed of flippancy grows in the soil of superiority and pride. Its grubby root is in meanness. Over a cup of coffee and a sneering wink and a rolling of the eyes, we mock others. We laugh but know we should be repenting.

Lewis denounced flippancy so thoroughly because it was so close to his heart. It was his thorn. He knew its power, of wink-wink, nudge-nudge, know what I mean smirks toward others, living in what he called his own great puddle of naughtiness and meanness toward others. Yet, just because a good gift can go bad, one should not reject it. Laughter must be enjoyed in its goodness and fullness. In fact, laughter contributes to our physical as well as spiritual health.

Know the nature of flippancy...and reject (in your mind)
every effort which leads to pure meanness.

Otherwise it will suffocate your soul! 

Things to remember!

Tarot symbols and E.E. Cummings :)

Since feeling is first,
who pays attention to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you,
wholly to be a fool while spring is in the world

- E.E.Cummings

On the Fool Tarot card, a young man stands on the edge of a cliff or (small step?) we do not know niether does he, without a care in the world, as he sets out on a new adventure. He is gazing upwards toward the sky (and the Universe) and is seemingly unaware that he is about to skip off a precipice into the unknown. Over his shoulder rests a modest knapsack containing everything he needs – which isn’t much (let’s say he’s a minimalist). The white rose in his left hand represents his purity and innocence. And at his feet is a small white dog, representing loyalty and protection, that encourages him to charge forward and learn the lessons he came to learn. The mountains behind the Fool symbolize the challenges yet to come. They are forever present, but the Fool doesn’t care about them right now; he’s more focused on starting his expedition.

This is a basic rider tarot deck!

Now he is the man e.e. Cummings is refering to :)

Joy

Joy is the surest evidence of presence of the GOD! :)

Inspiring words :)

Intentions are like powerful magnets.

the more we declare them, believe in them,

act in ways to manifest them, 

the more powerful and real they become :)

disasters can turn into great opportunities. So don't be afraid to spill something!
and have a good intention.

P.S. If you don't have a good intention......then may God help you ;p
